Technical Abstract

Methods, systems, algorithms and signal processing devices for determining the dynamic variables of pressure, density, velocity and conductivity of a generated mass slug, known as the Treacle and formed in a shock discontinuity produced by explosive detonation, deflagration or nature, are provided herein. The parameter determination is based on the discovery of the existence of a Treacle formed in the reaction zone of a shock wave. This verbal noun describes the action of changing the kinetic energy (treacling) of a mass slug immersed and traveling through a magnetic field thereby generating a detectable Alfvén wave, which is measured and with an algorithm yields the Treacle dynamic variables. The information is further used to devise methods and systems that utilize the information to create shock shields and high power devices or any other electrically powered transmission disposed within an electrical load.

1. An algorithmic method of determining a real time for the dynamic pressure, density, velocity, length, conductivity, and impulse of a Treacle formed in the reaction zone of a shock wave, the method comprising the steps of: Applying a magnetic flux across a Treacle disposed within a channel, wherein the channel comprises substantially constant dimensions as the Treacle propagates through the channel; Transforming kinetic energy from the Treacle into electrical energy; Applying a high potential electrode to the electrical energy; Applying a low potential electrode to the electrical energy; and Coupling an electrical load conductively with the high potential electrode and the low potential electrode to dissipate the kinetic energy from the Treacle; said coupling step further comprising the steps of: Measuring electrical voltage versus time of Treacle output into an open circuit or load; Sifting an initial pulse; Measuring the initial pulse's open circuit peak voltage; Determining the Treacle velocity from the known geometry of the channel and the applied magnetic field; Determining the spectral content of the sifted pulse; Identifying the Alfvén magnetic wave velocity utilizing the highest and strongest spectral component measured; Determining Treacle density from the Alfvén wave velocity; Determining Treacle dynamic pressure by applying the density and velocity results to the dynamic pressure equation of Newton; Measuring the time duration of the sifted pulse's peak voltage flat-top which is duration of average zero slope at the peak of the signal; Determining the Treacle length by multiplying the time duration by the Treacle velocity; Determining the power contained in the Treacle by application of the electromagnetic Poynting vector relationship for a non-magnetic Treacle media and the channel geometry; Dividing the Treacle power by the Treacle length to yield conductivity of the Treacle; and Determining the Treacle's impulse by multiplying Treacle density by Treacle velocity and dividing by the Treacle length.
